"The Formula" questions... Everyone GTFIH and chim
I am trying to evaluate my supplement regiment... I am a huge fan of Controlled Labs products as they all seem to work together and have an emphasis on overall health.
My current line-up includes:
Orange Triad - multi + joint/digestion support
Oximega greens + fish oils
White Flood - Preworkout stim
Green Mag - Creatine
Purple Wraath - BCAA intra
Golden Gains - Post workout protein + extras
Glycergrow - Glycerol Monostereate for pumps.
Now... with some quick math this totals to $95.70 a month. $57.00 of this are supplements that I would effectively be replacing with "The Formula" (WF, GM, PW, GlycerGrow, and Golden Gains). The Other $38.70 is for vitamins, greens, and fishoils that I would keep in my regiment.
How much does it cost YOU to run "The Formula" per month? my calculations were based on a 3 times a week routine. Just curious for some user input.
Also, without disclosing the ingredients of "The Formula", are the ingredients based on the inclusion of plain "pure" protein or are the other ingredients to be added based on the additives already in the protein? I know that sounded confusing... to try and clarify, If "The Formula" calls for 5 grams of X added does this assume that the protein used doesn't already contain 5 grams of X?
Looking forward to hearing your guys' feedback/theories.

Ok... did a quick calculation for "The Formula". If using it 3 times a week as I am with my Controlled Labs pre, intra, and post supplements "The Formula" totals $57.60 per month. This was with the exclusion of GPA which I couldn't find. (Yes pirates... we put grade point averages in our formulaz!!!!1one)
Still looking forward to your opinions/thoughts etc.

BA did nothing for me.
citruline malate helped pump a little bit but not worth it, i would defo give it a try if you have never used it before, my current BCAA mix has it added.
as for the two new ingredients (not sure if they should have been posted above) i have never tried them. primarily because I find it hard to find and this has been the case for others too.
intra-workout is the way to go!

Yea that was my concern. Dont want to play chemistry with my body negating sides, rather avoid the possibility hence why I dont play with prohormones any more. Are these two ingredients "crucial" to the formula?Street-dreams wrote:tmg and gpa basically help with creatine uptake.. well the gpa does... the tmg counters a potentially bad effect of the gpa by being a methyl donor.
IMO, a high quality protein is "crucial", not the two others.j10nke wrote:Yea that was my concern.

per a PM Rob sent me in regards to a question I had asked him, if you are supplementing with KA you do not need GPA or TMG, which wil save you about $20 or so since it already has the hydroxy-whatever that does the same thing as GPA...j10nke wrote:Ok... did a quick calculation for "The Formula".

A. The protein utilized is very important!! The inclusion of "certain" fast acting peptides is key.
No "Walmart whey", is going to get the job done. I've used them ALL, and when I don't have access to "The Eagle", MassPro gets my vote.
That's me, your mileage may vary.
FINAL WORD: Try MassPro first, "the other" proteins I recommend in "The Formula" second and your own CL labs brew, as time/budget allows.
You'll find it...
Hope that helps!!
